            <strong>RESThub</strong> is a stack based on <strong>Spring</strong> and <strong>Backbone.js</strong>
            designed to build <strong>HTML5</strong> applications easily and efficiently.
            It provides tooling, libraries and documentation in order to build modular
            web applications with <strong>client side state</strong>, <strong>stateless server</strong> and
            REST webservices or Websocket communication between both.

            <h1>Stateless</h1>

            <p>
                Statefull is not natural, RESThub was built with <strong>HTML5 in mind</strong> and is
                strongly related to REST stateless principles maximizing
                <strong>scalability & <a href="/docs/spring/testing">testability</a></strong>. State is
                managed client side with <strong>HTML5 capabilities</strong>.

        <div class="col-xxs-12 col-sm-4">
            <h1>Progressive</h1>

            <p>
                Designed to allow <strong>progressive complexity</strong>. <strong><a
                    href="/docs/quickstart">Bootstrap</a></strong>
                is made easy without introducing limitation to underlying frameworks.
                Not a "blogging framework", <strong>designed for real life</strong>,
                <strong>efficiency</strong> and <strong>productivity</strong>.

        <div class="col-xxs-12 col-sm-4">
            <h1>Standards based</h1>

            <p>
                RESThub is <strong>pragmatically</strong> built
                uppon strong <strong>approved or <i>de facto</i> standards</strong> on both <strong><a href="/docs/spring">server
                side</a></strong> and <strong><a href="/docs/backbone">client side</a></strong>. You do not have to learn a new framework,
                you already know it. <strong>It is just easier</strong>.
